...physchology in America almost singlehanded out of the miasma of metaphysics into the clear white light of experimental rationalism. Pupil of Wilhelm Wundt, he caught the physiological genius of that great founder, and built his theory strictly on the neurological basis of the human body. Hall's wide-ranging, liberal and incisive intelligence took him into many special fields. It made him the dean of the genetic psychologists, with a sympathetic and encyclopedic knowledge of infancy and adolescence (the subject of his greatest work).

The Herald and the Globe called it a home run, giving the Sophomore center-fielder two circuit clouts for the game and four for the season. The Post and the Advertiser ruled it a single, charging the Middlebury center fielder with an error in letting the ball go through him.
